Tetsuya Nomura Discusses KH BBS As DLC & NGP

In the latest Dengeki magazine issue, Kingdom Hearts series director Tetsuya Nomura was asked about if the PSP game Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep would be released as a DLC on the Playstation Network.

Thanks to Andriasang.com, Nomura had this to say:

“I’d like to do something about this, but it’s difficult for a reason that I can’t say. However, I want to make sure there’s no misunderstanding — it’s not a problem with Square Enix, Disney or Utada (Utada Hikaru, performer of the game’s theme song). It’s a completely different issue. I’ll continue thinking about a way to make it possible, but it still requires time.”

He was also asked about any possible developments for the NPG he replied with this:

“Kitase (fellow producer Yoshinori Kitase) was at the announcement press conference,” said Nomura. “When NGP was in development, I was able to give my opinion and ideas many times.” Pressed about possible plans for the system, Nomura said, “I can’t talk about that yet.”

Crud. I don’t want to shell out for a system I don’t own just to be able to keep up with the story. But it looks like Birth by Sleep will be repeating itself in more ways than one. At least there’s still hope for BbS. I cannot stress enough how much I want it to be DLC.

What part of “I can’t think about that yet” makes you think BBSV2 is gonna be on the NGP? That pretty much means the opposite.

BBSV2 will be released on the PSP.. But considering the graphic quality of the NGP and the similarities the control scheme has to the PS3, and their love of putting games on handhelds now, I’m assuming he’s going to release KH3 on both the PS3 and the NGP.. since the final game of the Xehanort Chronicles SHOULD be the one to show off updated style and graphics. I’m this he’s already thought about this, which is why it seems plausible to assume that BBSV2 will be a PSP release.

I highly doubt he’d upgrade the visuals on a release that won’t have Sora as a main character. He wants KH3 to have that surprise factor when you first look at it, so if BBSV2 was released on the NGP that would destroy KH3′s potential graphically, cause we’d already have an idea as to what it will look like.

He said I can’t talk about that yet (he didn’t say think,he said talk )
So now it doesn’t means the opposite anyore.
Either way, you could be right about bbs volume 2 on psp,because of the graphics arguments you gave. But we will have to wait to find that out.
